Silver closed up 3 cents today at $17.02, but Numismedia prices a 1987 1 oz. Silver Eagle at $17.00.

Even a generic one ounce round would sell for more than $17.00. There is a premium on Silver Eagles. Does Numismedia just have a really old price, or is there another explanation?

Dealers generally charge anywhere from .75 to 1.25 over spot. Numismedia should be used as a guide only. They don't keep up with day to day market volatility of metals.

Wow...for silver Eagles? In my area, dealers charge $2.75 over spot and up for these. Online dealers I have looked at are selling Eagles for spot plus $1.75 and up. Are you sure about the prices you listed?

The value you are quoting is for MS60 which is an unrealistic grade for a SAE in the vast majority of cases. I would say that an MS60 would only be worth silver value(which is now back under $17 as I type this) because that would be an ugly dog of a coin but your typical SAE will grade MS65-68 if it has not been mishandled. When you correct the value for the appropriate grade range, you get Numismedia values of $22-29.

That would be pretty good considering the Mint charges the distributors $1.50 over spot.
